Ghostty Warp - Modern Terminal Configuration

My personal terminal setup using Ghostty terminal emulator with modern shell enhancements. Inspired by Warp Terminal, but open source and privacy-focused.

Why I Built This

I wanted Warp's features without:

• Proprietary software
• Telemetry
• Cloud dependency
• Bloat

So I configured Ghostty with the best open-source terminal tools.

Features

Productivity

• Auto-suggestions (zsh-autosuggestions) - Fish-like command suggestions
• Syntax highlighting (zsh-syntax-highlighting) - Real-time validation
• Fuzzy search (fzf) - Fast history and file search
• Smart navigation (zoxide) - Jump to directories
• Advanced history (atuin) - Cross-session search
• Beautiful prompt (starship) - Git integration

Customization

• 4 Presets: Cyberpunk Dev, Minimal Focus, Cozy Coding, Professional
• 5 Themes: Tokyo Night, Catppuccin Mocha, Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox
• 4 Fonts: JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, Cascadia Code, Iosevka (Nerd Fonts)
• Auto Font Installation: Nerd Fonts install automatically with setup

Tools

• mise - Universal version manager
• fnm - Fast Node.js manager
• fd - Better find
• ripgrep - Faster grep
